Differences between the ribonucleic acids of transforming and nontransforming avian tumor viruses.

چکیده
The 60-70S RNAs of several transforming and nontransforming avian tumor viruses have different electrophoretic mobilities. The RNA of transforming viruses contains two electrophoretically separable subunit classes: a and b. The relative concentrations of these subunits vary with the virus strain. Avian leukosis viruses and nontransforming derivatives of a sarcoma virus lack subunits of class a. It is suggested that the presence of the class a subunit is related to the transforming ability for fibroblasts of the virus.

متن کاملTypesof Genes for Transformation
Elaborating on a classification proposed by Temin (21) a few years ago, we can divide avian RNA tumor viruses into 4 groups, depending on their transforming interactions with host cells in culture and the types of tumors they induce in animals (Table 1). The strongly transforming viruses include all strains of RSV,2 both those derived from Rous's original isolate and relatively recent isolates....
متن کاملPlaque assay of avian sarcoma viruses using casein.
The caseinolytic activity of several strains of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), conditional and nonconditional mutants of RSV, and nontransforming avian leukosis viruses was investigated. Only those viruses capable of transforming chick fibroblasts in vitro induced lysis of casein incorporated into an agar overlay. Lysis produced distinct clear areas in the turbid casein-agar gel which allowed a quan...
متن کاملDetection and Classification of Latent Avian Rna Tumor Viruses
A rapid and simple technique for the detection of latent RNA tumor viruses has been described. It is based on phenotypic mixing between the latent agent (s) and a nondefective strain of RSV used as indicator virus. Most of the embryos from two different chicken lines tested so far contain such agents. According to their host range and serological properties they belong to subgroup E. The phenot...
